THREE MONTHS LATER,
Lelouch is quite comfortable with living in forest. His past memory was of living in a small village alone because of absence of his parents. Now the situation is similar just being with an annoying witch. Only 3 month left for Lelouch to complete his training period. Lelouch is getting ready to go into the forest as every day for his training and gathering foods for surviving even though it was unnecessary now he was doing it because he wanted to be perfect.
A sound came as someone knocking the door. "It's time for pizza" Lelouch declared as he realizes it's pizza time he sounded loud such that the green haired witch could listen while he went to opening the door.
When he opened the door he saw an 8years girl with light pink hair and pink eye. It was Anya Alstreim. Her mother is a made of Empress Marianna. She always brought foods for CC and him; sometimes Anya came would with her but Anya never came alone not until now.
"Anya you came alone, where is your mother" Lelouch inquired as he was concerned about Anya came alone being a small girl even though Lelouch know that Anya will be fine alone.
"My mother has some important work to do so I came alone" Anya answered smilingly while Lelouch took the foods from Anya's hand and put them on table.
"CC wake up" Lelouch called out CC as he grabbed her blanket and pulled off which made CC fall onto the floor.
"Ouch, where is my pizza" groaned CC as standing up from the floor it was daily routine for CC to wake up when Lelouch made her so she did not complained how he did it because it's time for her prize.
"On the table pizza witch" Lelouch chuckled as called CC with a new name he called CC with many names like witch, CC, laziest woman in the world and many others.
"That's a new name boy" CC appreciated it because she never get to called by other name than CC and he called because he thought about her and care about her.
"Like I care, I will go to forest for searching for my food" Lelouch declared and looked to Anya who loved to play with him and he also love it so he asked "Anya want to come"
"Yes, of course" Anya smiled cheerfully coming along with him. When her mother come along they don't get to play for long but today she can play all she wanted to. "CC, do you want to play with us?" She thought of CC because she might get bored being alone as she get bored when she with her mother.
"If you want, sure I love to join you but only if Lelouch carry my pizza boxes" CC smirked while dragging Anya with her living Lelouch to carry her Pizza boxes.
"Anya we are not going to play, we are going for hunting unlike someone I have to find my own food" Lelouch muttered as he coming behind them carrying a four boxes of pizza with him.
After 15 minute, Anya and CC are walking in the front of Lelouch. CC was telling Anya to bring pizza with having more cheese and advising her to things that will annoy Lelouch who was walking behind them carrying boxes of pizza who was neither talk any of them since they started journey.
"CC can I ask something" Lelouch asked as he was bored by all the silence around him and the girly talk about pizza and him.
"What is it?" CC shouted back without turning back and waiting for what Lelouch going to say.
"You are eating pizza all the time you should be in size of your cheesekun now but you are quite slim for someone who eats that much food?" Lelouch commented as he faced to ground unable to saw the face of an annoying witch smirking at his question.
"I will take it as a complement boy" CC chuckled when she looked at Lelouch who was blushing furiously.
They all stopped when they saw 5men standing in front them. Their face covered with white masks, each of them carrying a small dagger covering a man behind them must likely their boss.
"Who are you and what do you want" CC asked hesitantly with sense of frightened in her voice.
"CC it has been a long time" a blue hair man with red eye with a bird mark on it around 30 years came out who was hiding behind those men walking towards them with cruel smirk on his face.
"Khirod what are you doing?" CC gasped as she was visible shaking not afraid for her but worrying about Lelouch and Anya who unable to defend themselves.
Khirod is CC's contract since age 15. His geass is to transform in to anyone at his will and he can also gain their personality, skill, strength, stamina. He use his power to deceive people, after some time when his geass is permanently active he transform in to the person who stand for 5 minute but also he can transform instantly at his own will.
"Of course I came to see you my darling, why did you leave me CC?" cried Khirod while coming towards CC with tear in his eyes.
"I saved you and given you power, but you used that power for your own propose, killing people, hurting them that's not what I wanted you to do so I left you your own way" CC muttered as she was terrified, it was her fault to make contractors with having power everyone even good one lose their sanity.
"And now you are living with that boy, so he is my replacement. Then I will have to kill him" he shouted angrily to Lelouch as he draw his gun and pointed at Lelouch who was shocked at what happened suddenly.
Lelouch froze as he heard the safety lock on the man's gun click off and the clip loaded into the gun settle into place, followed by a gun being pointed at him. Lelouch felt no fear. Rather, he felt such shock and disgust that it shook his mind and body into a subconscious freeze. Many things circulated through his head at that moment, stemming around the painfully obvious fact that he was about to die.
"He must not die" CC cried. As she take the incoming fire from the gun by herself by shielding Lelouch.
Lelouch watched as motionless body CC slowly falling down, the blood sprinkled all around the place, a few drops of blood fell on Lelouch's face.
Lelouch could not control himself, even if CC was annoying and always teasing him but she was the only person stood by his side, and she was dead trying to protect him. It was disgust for him to watch CC killed so coldblooded only if he had power to save CC now the same fate waits for both of them.
"Oh, CC tried to save you but too bad I am going to kill you now" Khirod declared as he started laughing and raised the gun that he lowered as bullet hit CC "After I kill you CC and I can be together forever with no one can stand between us."
"You killed her you bastard, if you wanted CC then why did you have to kill her? I am the one you are after so why you killed CC." Lelouch demanded as he flushing with anger he wanted to hurt Khirod but he was powerless to do that.
"You don't know do you?" Khirod scoffed as he started laughing again. Is this the boy he was with CC and don't know what she was he almost feel sorry for Lelouch.
"What?" Lelouch demanded with angrily voice as Khirod was playing with him.
"CC never told you does she, that means she love me more than you." Khirod muttered happily as he start jumping around like a small boy with pleasure and saying "Did you listen CC never told him, but she told me that means she love me more Yes she loves me more."
"What are you talking about?" Lelouch questioned, now he gets annoyed to see how Khirod acted, he was too annoyed that he thought just kill me and get it over with.
"I will tell you before killing you" Khirod smirked as he put the gun top of Lelouch's head and said "CC cannot die, she is an immortal"
"What?" Lelouch gaped as he heard something wrong.
"She is an immortal even I cut her in to pieces she will regenerate again. She is a nice toy to play with, the other women die after I done with them, but CC is not like them I can play with her over and over" Khirod whooped as he lost in dreamed of what to do with CC come to his mind then he snapped out of it and realized that before that he has a job to finished. "Lelouch yours life ends now"
Thoughts ran through Lelouch's head at a million miles per hour as he crouched down to see if CC had really died. 'How can this be happening? After everything I've been through, I tried so hard so I can be any help to Emperor as my parents did, First father and mother killed and now CC, now I'm about to die…Before I have even had a chance to helped Emperor, CC died trying to save me. If I am dead what will happened to Anya? What will they do with her?' Lelouch thought, to his surprise CC, he thought had just died in front of him grabbed his hand. He felt like he was thrown into another dimension strange image flashed before his eyes and he heard a voice of CC in his head.
'You don't want it to end here, do you?'
What? CC…
He saw light, blinding light, and he saw the Earth as if from above, and he saw people, unified under a strange bird-like symbol which was tattooed on their foreheads- the same symbol which glowed from the CC's forehead. She was completely naked, but in spite of his usual prudish ways he found that it didn't matter.
Here, it simply didn't matter
'You appear to have a reason for living.'
"Yes," he whispered, and he would never know if it happened only in his head or out loud. "He could not be killed and live Anya alone with those monsters, and he should help Emperor like his parents" In the midst of all the death, all the despair, he saw CC smile shining at him, turning to him with her closed eyes, and somehow that made it all better.
'If I grant you power, could you go on?'
Power! Power was his life's quest! With power, he could help thaw Emperor's enemies and being use to him.
'I propose a deal. In exchange for this power, you must agree to make my one wish come true. Accept this contract and you'll accept its conditions. While living in the world of humans, you will live unlike any other- a different providence, a different time, a different life. The Power of the King will condemn you to a life of solitude. Are you prepared for this?'
As if to spite his previous thoughts, an image of the Emperor came to him, standing in what seemed to be an ancient structure of Greek designs. He heard the man's great voice rumble; expressing a hint of surprise, and Lelouch might have sworn he looked straight at him then.
"Yes!" he announced, with a flourish of his hand. "I hereby accept to terms of your contract!"
That symbol blazed above (although above what, exactly, he wasn't sure. This was supposedly all happening in his head, after all.), burning itself in his eyes. Memories of his past life are coming back.
Lelouch still felt that burning when the world came back into focus, the now-familiar darkness of the forest returning. It was pooled into two red eyes now. He pressed the heel of his palm to it, although it didn't hurt. Not in the least, in fact, he felt strangely empowered.
'I remember every thing now, Nunnally, Euphemia, Cornelia, and Clovis' as his memory comes his face twisted with unknown emotions. 'VV, Bismark, Father and Mother their plan for this world everything they done for it.'
And he knew exactly what to do. He was betrayed and abandon by his parents for the sake of their selfish plan. If they success then the peaceful world he promise to Nunnally to build will be vanished. "I must not allow you to complete Ragnarok connection Charles ZI Britannia."
He was suddenly snapped back to reality and while clutching his eye stepped away from the body of the CC. "Say…how should a Britannia Prince who detests his own country lead his life?"
Khirod raised his gun again "what are you saying? Are you admitting that you're some kind of radical or something?"
"What's wrong why not shoot? I'm unarmed there isn't anyone here to protect me." Lelouch taunted. "Or have you finally realized the only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed." He moved his hand from his eye revealing a glowing signal.
Khirod shoot his gun pointed at Lelouch, but Lelouch was out of his site. "What where did he go?" Khirod questioned to his companions. "There you are, but how… how did you get their so fast" Khirod queried shockingly.
"Oh so simple I just inherited the speed of those assassination you brought to kill me" as he faced towards Anya who was sitting on the ground and looked shocked what happening around her, giving her a hand "are you alright Anya?"
"Yes I am OK, I am little scared" Anya maturated holding his hand tightly with out facing him.
"Don't worry, everything will be all right" Lelouch assured Anya as standing up and ready to face his enemies face to face he don't want hide anymore.
"Do you really think you can stand up to us little boy" Khirod snapped as he pointed gun at Lelouch "You see these people here are assassination, every one of us kill more than 50 people so you don't have a change against all of us."
"No, I am not going to stand up to you, I see what you truly desired, killing people, hurting them makes you happy, but that's end now because I am not going let you do that again I am going to eliminate all of you now." Lelouch declared, he was sick of watching people hurting other because of fun.
"You think you can kill us, then settle this one on one, you said you only inherit our speed but you can never match our strength, stamina and experience." One of them said as he attacks Lelouch at lightening speed.
Lelouch watched as his attacker come at lightening speed, but to Lelouch it seems normal speed, before he could attack Lelouch dodged it comfortably.
"So you dodge my attack, it's getting interesting, I might have to used my full power" he snapped as he through his dagger towards Lelouch, Lelouch jump towards his left to dodge his attack but find another one waiting for him their.
Lelouch could not dodge other one's attack, he cuts Lelouch's left arm with his dagger.
'Even after I use my geass they have same skill and power level as mine, I can beat them one to one, but I cannot defeat them all at a time. Even if I can fight them back, there is a chance that they will use Anya as their hostage, so I don't have any choice but to lure them into forest and fight them one to one' Lelouch thought as he planed his next plan of action.
Lelouch then run away from them with high speed.
"Follow him he is trying to escape, find him and kill him" Khirod ordered his companions and followed Lelouch along with them forgetting about Anya who was sitting next to CC and crying.
"He could be gone any way he does not leave a trail behind" one of them complained.
"Then let's scattered, this way we can intestate more ground" Khirod solution their problem. 'I might transfer in to one of them.'
Lelouch setup the traps because he guess rather he saw what Khirod was going to do next when he run away. Now Anya was out of danger so he could fight without worried about her. 'Even if I learn all their skill but my body is not supporting these moves I make, so I have to kill them as soon as possible.'
Lelouch was hiding behind a tree silently and watching one of those assassinations. 'First I have to make sure that he is alone then I can attack him'. After he conformed that he was alone then he attacks the assassination from behind with a flying kick. He falls back and when he gets up a series of sweep kick and butterfly kick waits for him. When he falls from the sweep kick a full circular butterfly kick connected to his neck and broke it. He was dead on the spot.
Then Lelouch heard sound of another one coming so he make the dead body resting near the tree that looks like he was alive and then he fell on the ground as looked like dead and he already took his dagger from him.
When the other person came and saw Lelouch lied on the ground dead probably. His friend was sitting near the tree. "So you killed that little bastard, I wish I had a change to play with him, well did he put of a good fight"." The other man asked his companions relaxing because of their mission was over.
When he reaches near his friend saw him already dead. "What…that means" then he realize what happen and turn around but it was too late for him. "Now die" Lelouch stated with that Lelouch cut his throat with the dagger and jumped away from him. The man walks up to 3 to 4 step then he touches his throat checked what happened. 'I am not bleeding does that means he missed me.' "You bastard" the man yelled but when he said the word blood pumping out of his throat sprinkling the over the ground, he turn to find Lelouch but he was gone. As he fall the ground slowly closing his eyes he realized he killed so many man but in the end he was killed in the hand of a merely boy who was at most 10 years old.
Lelouch after killing two men trying locate other ones, he saw the man he killed before walking with a gun in his hand. 'I killed him before but how is he alive, his dressing is same as Khirod that means he transfer in to anyone, if I kill him then I kill all of them easily'
Then Lelouch walk up to attack Khirod, Khirod fired his gun until it was empty but Lelouch dodge all of them. When Lelouch attack them, he saw his mirror image standing next to him. Taking advantage of his distraction Khirod fires another bullet that pierced through Lelouch's right arm.
"How did you fire, your gun is empty" Lelouch asked surprisingly.
"Oh… that you see It is not a real gun, it is a transformation substance so I can fire it as much I want" Khirod explained." You don't have a chance of defeating me."
"In that case I had no choice" Lelouch muttered with this Lelouch charged at Khirod.
"You think you can beat me" Khirod block the hand coming towards his heart but it passed through as air. "What happened, what did you do to me?" Khirod questioned as he felt something missing from he like he was while different person mow.
"Everyone has both good and bad side, for each crime you committed there is a price you have to pay, my geass is geass of origin, which give me an ability to copy, modified and absorbs anyone's ability and skill. And also I can absorb your sins for all your crime you committed so I can alive in hell until I punished for it. And I absorb all your sins and your evil part." Lelouch explained as he felt pain and saw images it made him hard just to stand.
"It is a good thing for me but it won't stop me from killing you." Khirod declared.
"You don't understand, do you? Your evil part is gone now so to kill me you need a strong reason, and leaving with CC is not enough, don't you think." Lelouch said as a curl smirk appear on his face.
"You did too much crime in your past, you deserve to punish but you are not punished for it because of me, those five men you bring are bad men they killed so many people, if you want to reconciliation yourself then kill all of them and then commit suicide." Lelouch insisted Khirod but he was practically controlling his thoughts.
"Do you think it's a good thing to do, do I help people by killing all of us?" Khirod sighed and wait for Lelouch's answer who was like a god to him he freed him from this hell and showed the path to haven.
"Yes I think you will do a great job by doing this" Lelouch murmured, but his face did not support him so he turned his face away from Khirod and walked away.
Lelouch walked towards Anya and CC lost in his thought 'I always watched people suffered in pain people torture others for fun where strong diminishing weak but I was too weak to help them so I stand by and watched the world govern by the strong but I have power now I will destroy this corrupted world I create a new in it's place and I am ready to pay any price for it'
After he heard three screaming sound as he was trembling 'even I did not kill them directly but I am the one responsible for their death and I am willingly to pay the price for taking their life, half of soul will remain in hell until I paid the price, this is my punishment for all the people died or going to die because of me their sins are all mine for eternity to bear.'
This is third chapter it took me long sorry for that.
